Freeman Summarizing: Solutions Required Quantum Numbers Quantum Numbers n is the principal quantum number, indicates the size of the orbital, has all positive integer values of 1 to ∞(infinity) l (angular momentum) orbital 0s l is the angular momentum quantum number, 1p represents the shape of the orbital, has integer values of (n – 1) to 0 2d 3f ml is the magnetic quantum number, represents the spatial direction of the orbital, can have integer values of -l to 0 to l Other terms: electron configuration, noble gas configuration, valence shell ms is the spin quantum number, has little physical meaning, can have values of either +1/2 or -1/2 Pauli Exclusion principle: no two electrons can have all four of the same quantum numbers in the same atom (Every electron has a unique set.) Hund’s Rule: when electrons are placed in a set of degenerate orbitals, the ground state has as many electrons as possible in different orbitals, and with parallel spin. Aufbau (Building Up) Principle: the ground state electron configuration of an atom can be found by putting electrons in orbitals, starting with the lowest energy and moving progressively to higher energy. While n is the principal energy level, the l value also has an effect Radial Wave Functions and Nodes

# Radial Nodes = n ‐ l - 1

Summary: # Radial Nodes = n - l -1 # Radial Nodes = n ‐ l - 1 # Angular Nodes = l

Total # Nodes = n - 1

Charge or Zeff Slater’s Rules for Calculating Zeff

1) Write the electron configuration for the atom as follows:

(1s)(2s,2p)(3s,3p) (3d) (4s,4p) (4d) (4f) (5s,5p)

2) Any electrons to the right of the electron of interest contributes no shielding. (Approximately correct statement.) 3) All other electrons in the same group as the electron of interest shield to an extent of 0.35 nuclear charge units 4) If the electron of interest is an s or p electron: All electrons with one less value of the principal quantum number shield to an extent of 0.85 units of nuclear charge. All electrons with two less values of the principal quantum number shield to an extent of 1.00 units.

5) If the electron of interest is an d or f electron: All electrons to the left shield to an extent of 1.00 units of nuclear charge. 6) Sum the shielding amounts from steps 2 ‐ 5 and subtract from the nuclear charge value to obtain the effective nuclear charge. Slater’s Rules: Examples

Calculate Zeff for a valence electron in fluorine.

(1s2)(2s2,2p5) Rule 2 does not apply; therefore, for a valence electron the shielding or screening is (0.35 • 6) + (0.85 • 2) = 3.8

Zeff = 9 – 3.8 = 5.2

Calculate Zeff for a 6s electron in Platinum.

(1s2)(2s2,2p6)(3s2,3p6) (3d10) (4s2,4p6) (4d10) (4f14) (5s2,5p6) (5d8) (6s2) Rule 2 does not apply, and the shielding is: (0.35 • 1) + (0.85 • 16) + (60 • 1.00) = 73.95

Zeff = 78 – 73.95 = 4.15 for a valence electron. Inorganic Chemistry Chapter 1: Table 1.2
